About an year ago I was looking for a web host who was offering top notch services at an affordable cost for www.webhostingjury.com and my search ended at LunarPages.com for two main reasons.. LunarPages stands out of the galaxy of web hosts primarily because it displays all the ingredients necessary for a hosting company to be a top web host and secondly their basic hosting plan gives you more disk space and bandwidth than an average website would ever need and features that would shy the features of a premium plan of other web hosts. Let me tell you how LunarPages beats the competition.

LunarPages

Founded in the summer of 2000 LunarPages has a vast client base and is currently hosting over 50,000 websites, and this number is rapidly going up. In the short time span of five years LunarPages’s own high tech Data Center, a trend setting Customer support and tech staff has earned a lot of reputation and respect in the web hosting industry. Today LunarPages is identified as one of the top web hosts and my favorite host, this is when I have my other websites hosted with other web hosts as well. Totally satisfied with my website’s performance on their servers, I recently decided to host another one of my websites with them.

Benefits of Hosting with LunarPages

At $7.95 for many their basic plan known as “Shuttle” would be an expensive deal, but if you are looking for value for your money.. the Shuttle can be you vehicle to unravel the unseen possibilities of the internet. When I was searching for a web host for www.webhostingjury.com I noticed one thing with LunarPages.. you name a feature requisite for your website and it is there in their default list of features for the “Shuttle” and these features are backed by a reliable network and an ever dependable support staff.

The Shuttle plan offers 3000MB or appx. 3GB of disk space and 40GB of data transfer, now only if your website is more popular than Google you would ask for more than that. The plan includes all other basic features of web hosting like Unlimited E-Mail accounts with webmail access other general email related options, ability to host 3 domains from the same account, 2000Mbit connectivity, MySQL Databases and others.

One other thing I noticed with LunarPages is that they have some features in their list which are very much unique. Like support for not only Front Pages but also for DreamWeaver and the availability of Java Server Pages and Sun One ASP, as a web developer myself I understand that these are a huge bonus and go a long way in enhancing the visibility and functionality of my websites currently hosted with them.

Support at LunarPages

The day before I wrote this review I had sent two support tickets, and I received response in less than 15 minutes for both the tickets, and not only this time.. this has been their record ever since I had sent my first ticket to test their response time and quality. Another thing I like about LunarPages is that unlike with other web hosts I can get support through a number of other interesting means like forum and a vast collection of online knowledge base which will answer almost any web hosting related problem and provide you with an extensive and complete reading if you are eager to learn.

Apart for forum, ticket, knowledge base and other regular support options you can avail support through their toll free number available across the US, the UK, and Canada unlike toll free numbers from other web hosts which is limited to one of these countries.

Reliability

When I know that my website is hosted from a state of the art Data Center that uses network devices manufactured by Dell, Sun and Cisco, and is online through a BGP4 routed gigabit fiber network which is multi homed by industry leading carriers, like, Mzima, Verio, Global Crossing, Microsoft/MSN, and others I feel more comfortable and confident about my website’s uptime than any uptime guarantee from other web hosts. In over an year with LunarPages my website’s never been down and the servers have easily managed all sorts of traffic.

Their tech staff is always on and continuously monitors the entire network, and can identify and rectify a problem even before it surfaces. They have protocols and set performances benchmarks and continuously test the entire system against the same just to ensure that your website is online and ready to accept any opportunity.

Conclusion

As the owner/editor of “Web Hosting Jury” I’ve reviewed the services of many top webhosts over the years and edited reviews of hundreds of other web hosts. I own a network of websites and have an account with almost every top web host, and I have had a good experience with all these hosts, but my experience with LunarPages, though short is unmatched and has made them my favorite and I can recommend them to anyone who is looking for value for their money and ready to spend the few extra bucks for the same. You can easily find a web host offering almost all the features that LunarPages is offering minus the reliability, uptime and support.
